Matthew James Property Consultants Colchester reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

This family run business really goes the extra mile for landlords and tenants. Matthew has been extremely helpful and efficient in all matters. He will always return our calls if he is unavailable. There are a couple of other people we have dealt with - I believe their names are Sal and Simon…? Everyone has been superb. We have many properties and use agents in different areas but both my husband and I agree that the service this company gives us is very high standard. If you are a landlord in the area we would highly recommend Matthew James in Colchester.

Matt managed my property for the past 7 years. He is such a lovely and professional guy, nothing ever too much trouble for him. I have recommended his services to my friends and will keep doing so. He helped me with the sale of my house and now I'm sad to say my goodbyes to him. Renting, selling, managing property, and anything else above, I will be engaging Matt again.

Our experience was surreal & very well amiable to the very last detail. Their level of professionalism is second to none & the two agents( Mark & Sam), who were assigned to us were very helpful. They both were expedient, acted with esteem decorum & were very friendly. To sum it all up, we would give them 9.5 over 10 only because we believe avidly that true excellence warrants constant improvement in every sphere of life.

Following the decision to rent out my mother's house, following her move to a residential home, Matthew James provided fantastic support to me throughout the process of preparing the house for the rental market, and identifying suitable tenants for the property. Throughout the last year they have proved extremely responsive to any issues, and provided excellent support. I would recommend them to anyone considering renting out their property without any hesitation.

Got referred to Matt at MJPC. This was my first time letting out a property and it was just so simple. It went from getting added to Rightmove on Sunday to viewings beginning the day after and by the Wednesday I had a tenant agreed. Really really simple and really knowledgeable as well. Been in good hands the whole way through and for the coming years…. Thanks again to all of you at MJPC!

Matthew has made our move to Colchester much easier. He is approachable, accommodating and efficient. My partner and I had a very tight window to make our move and Matthew met all of our needs. He provides the kind of personal engagement that makes the difference when trying to locate and secure a home. We didn’t receive this kind of personal treatment from any of the bigger real estate agencies in town.

Matthew has been great through out the whole time using Matthew James, we have just moved into our third property with this company and they have been amazing. Any time we need something or even to discuss something Matthew has always been available to help and sort things out straight away. I’d highly recommend Matthew James, 5*. Matthew even helped us to find a new property when we needed to move!

Having traditionally dealt with the big names on the High Street it been an absolutely refreshing change to deal with a company that actually cares about what they are doing, returns your communications promptly and genuinely has your best interest at heart. Several potential tenants were found for my property and with their assistance we found what I believe to be the best tenant. I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to other landlords or tenants.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Matthew has been excellent throughout the entire process of finding us a tenant. He acted incredibly quickly to value, put the details to market and find us a great tenant. We live abroad so it was great to have an agent so trustworthy; as we were letting out our home, Matthew was very sensitive to ours needs and ticked all of our boxes when it came to finding the right tenant. We never had to chase for feedback or updates, and general communication was handled brilliantly. Also very competitive fees and straightforward contracts, with no hidden fees. Matthew also sorted out EPC, boiler serving and key cutting. It was incredibly refreshing to know we were in safe hands throughout the process, as well as going forward as Matthew manages the property for us. We will most definitely be using MJPC whilst we are landlords and will recommend to our friends and family. Thanks Matthew!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

As a first-time homeowner renting out a property, Matthew James Property Consultants Ltd have been extremely helpful. The process was explained to me in simple terms and I have always felt very much ‘in the loop’ during the whole process. Communication has been frequent and any questions I’ve had have been answered in a timely manner. Matthew is always keen to present several options for me to give my thoughts on. I am currently working abroad and he organised for my property to be rent-ready and all services to have necessary checks and certificates. He gives an efficient and stress-free service. I would happily recommend this company to friends, family and anyone looking to rent their properties. An excellent company.
